Emma Stone

Long and Straight BangsWhy it Works: “This style works on Emma because it brings out the color and dimension of her blonde hair,” Norton says. “It also lifts her eyes and accentuates her great cheekbones. These have a soft feel, which I love.”Who It’s Good For: This cut is great for any face shape, since the bangs fall below the eyebrows, but especially pretty on blondes because thinner bangs show off the dimension of blonde and highlighted hair.Expert Tips: Use a slightly-rounded paddle brush to style them, like The Mason Pearson Handy Mixture Brush ($120) or Denman’s Grooming Brush ($18). Wrap dry, then gently round the ends as the last step by directing the air flow straight down and pulling the brush up.

Anna Faris

Retro BangsWhy it Works: “Short, Betty Page-type bangs are hard to pull off today, but they’re working on Anna because she’s balancing them with really great texture in the rest of her hair,” Norton says. “Short bangs open up the face and still allow you to show off your eyebrows, which is great.”Who It’s Good For: Best on those with a narrow or square face.Expert Tips: To cop Anna’s cut, ask your stylist for a bang that’s slightly longer in the center, which is the secret to a retro feel. Dry them with a round brush for volume.

Thick Eye-Grazing BangsWhy it Works: The secret to making blunt bangs like these work is keeping the outside edges soft, so the look isn’t severe, Norton says about the cut he gave Simone.Who It’s Good For: These are best for oval and triangular face shapes because they soften the face—and “particularly good for brunettes!” Norton says, since they’ll look thickest on dark hair.Expert Tips: Norton uses a tiny flat iron on Simone’s bangs. “Give them a slight roundness in the middle with the iron,” he says. “Then slightly drag the edges to the side, which will give them movement and softness.” Try Chi’s Micro Ceramic hairstyling Iron ($40).
